CHAIRPERSON SELECTION/APPOINTMENT

REVIEW PRESERVATION EFFORTS
Sarah reviewed the existing National Historic Districts and the proposed Local Historic Districts. Chantel
provided an overview of the design guidelines that were originally prepared by a SCAD graduate student
in 2013. Commissioners revised the guidelines accordingly for each of the proposed Local Historic
Districts over a period of three years. The state’s preservation office and others assisted as necessary.
The guidelines can have a positive impact for neighborhood and commercial districts in towns that have
them included with their codes and/or local historic districts. Commissioners discussed the process of
revising the guidelines as necessary with input from the city’s Community Development Director and
possibly a consultant that Chantel has been in communication with. Discussion ensued about how local
districts are increasingly important since the state’s historic preservation division’s review process is
becoming more favorable towards individual listings in an approved local district. Sarah shared that the
Historical Society is working on nominating the Lighthouse as a Landmark District again.
Sarah reviewed the ordinance that allows for the HPC to review building permits for buildings that are 50
years or older. She reviewed the process that the previous chair, Sue Bentley, and she had with the
permitting office in the Community Development Department. A new HPC contact, in addition to Sarah,
will be discussed at the next meeting
OTHER BUSINESS
Discussion ensued about the property located at the corner of Meddin and Van Horne. Sarah and Susan
will discuss further. Jane and Jan confirmed they will discuss suggestions for projects on Bright Street
